Image for the poem "The Seven Expressions of Hel,"

"The Seven Expressions of Hel,"

Nation of Fools who has
descended into Cthonic
abyss of the Lost Souls

You who upon has come
"Hunger," not of natural
food but that of spirit

And the knife called
"Famine," of all things
pertinent to continuance

Servants of Ganglati and
Ganglot your men are, work
they will not so they lack
and want

You entered this threshold
at some point because you
encountered a "Stumbling-block
and did not stop but head-long
continued forward

And now the bed you've made is
a "Sick-bed," so that none who
lay thereon ever rise again

The curtains "Gleaming-bale,"
can be seen from far off your
shores, because of the evil
that with yourselves you have
adorned

Flesh of men you have but the
atmosphere that exudes from
within your skin is down-cast
and fierce-looking and all your
denizens are broken

Morose and gaunt in Fallandaforad,  
(meaning "falling to peril,")
you grope for an exit but can
no longer avail

So here you'll remain in the
abode that is, "Hel,"


"I saw a (woman) sitting on a scarlet (beast) which
was full of (names) of (blasphemy,) having (seven)
(heads) and (ten horns.")


Woman- Feminine symbolic of ability to
       lay with and reproduce

Scarlet- Symbolic of royalty, luxury
   and position

Beast- An wild unruly nature that is
       untamable

Names- Representing identity

Blasphemy- An attitude that is indifferent
     and mocking of all things
     in High Authority

Seven- A number representing perfection/
       completeness

Horns- Symbolic of when a power has come
       into its full strength/ability


So we have a woman/Queen who has ascended into
a position of royalty and luxury and fornicated
so that she has become wild and untamable and
has reproduced herself from her sundry liaisons
into an identity that mocks and blasphemes
without regard everything High.

She has come into a complete state of this
personality so that she is overflowing and ready
for these things to come back upon her
seven heads/upon which are faces displaying the
identities of her blasphemies.
